To help you organize your life online, Clipix gives you a place to keep everything you find that you want to come back to in the future. Whether it’s news articles, recipes or shoes, Clipix lets you save it onto personalized clipboards.
It’s simple to use –- just drag the “clip” button to your bookmark bar. When you find something you’re interested in online, clip it to a clipboard. Users can also upload PDF files and Word and Excel documents.
Items without an image can also be added –- all users have to do is give it a name and clip it.
Clipix is also useful for items that are too expensive for immediate purchase. In those cases, you can save items onto clipboards and set desired purchase prices. Clipix tracks the item online and sends you a notification e-mail once it reaches the preferred price.
The site’s collaboration feature also allows users to share clipboards with friends. When a friend adds something to the clipboard, all of the other friends see it in real-time.
Users can make their clipboards private, public or visible to only friends. To prevent copyright issues, Clipix adds a watermark stamp labeled “copyright protected” onto everything its users save to clipboards.
In the future, Clipix plans to base its business model on commisions from purchases made through its website.
Unlike Pinterest, Clipix is not a social network. The site aims to offer users a place to organize their online life, rather than share all of their clipboards with other users.
Clipix was founded in February 2012, and is also available as an iPhone and Android app. The company has raised more than $5 million in funding and has approximately 45,000 users.
